Music

Welcome to the Music
department.

Music makes up part of the Performing Arts Faculty and is a
vibrant and exciting subject that allows all students to be creative and
develop skills in performance, composition and listening. The department holds a range of various
professional and specialist equipment that allows our students to consistently
produce work of the highest standards.

Here you will find information about what the music
department offers across the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 curriculum.

In Key Stage 3 the students have one 50 minute curriculum
music lesson per week. In Key Stage 4
students are taught for three 50 minute lessons per week studying the BTEC
First Level 2 Award in Music.

Here at TEC, we believe that every child should be given the
opportunity to appreciate music and where it has come from and by doing so we
teach the curriculum with a focus on ‘learning by doing’. Students are given
the opportunity to develop their musical skills as well as developing their
confidence, communication and their ability to work independently as well as
their teamwork skills.
